IBM's laid off employees offer jobs overseas - Feb. 5, 2009This one is tough to call. One could argue that they're at least trying to find jobs for these people. OTOH, it could be a sneaky way taking people off of the payroll. IBM must realize that some of the people have family and/or ties to their communities, so they won't want or be able to move. So they can say "Well, we were prepared to find jobs for them overseas, but they didn't want to take them. Now we must fill the jobs somehow."
